As the trial of Geng Quanrong, the man accused of killing Ummu Buhari (Ummita), is set to commence, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) has confirmed that the accused will be served Chinese meals while in custody.

Kano Correctional Centre spokesman Musbahu Kofar-Nassarawa said Quanrong was not expected to eat ‘gabza,’ a meal for prisoners.

According to Musbahu, the law states that a foreigner in Nigerian prison custody should be fed his native food. He added that the law allows such inmates to contact their country’s embassy or relatives for assistance.

“People are asking which type of food the suspect is going to be eating.

“He is going to be served Chinese food, that is what law provides,” he said.

On Wednesday, Quanrong was charged to court, but his plea was not taken due to lack of jurisdiction.

Magistrate Hanif Sanusi adjourned the homicide case to October 13 to enable the state to make necessary preparations.
